I´d wish we could say the same about the prices for oil, gas, fuel, electricity, food, beer, cigarettes, insurance fees and finally ... our so popular politicians* !

Did you hear me moan? Argh! No politics here!

:lol: ;)

Prices are coming down on storage...I keep thinking about the prices twentyfive years ago. I worked on a AN/UYK-15 (Unic 1616) computer that controlled our LORAN transmitter. It had four 8,000 bit core memories (thats only 8,000 bits, not bytes). The cost was over 8000 USD, a dollar a bit! I just bought a 8 Gig jump drive for around 50 USD. At 1980 prices that jump drive would have cost about 8,000,000,000 dollar .

Speaking of real estate I read in our classifieds Houses for sale in the US. Man, it's dirt cheap. Houses here cost as much as 1.5 million in TT dollars. The ad says houses are going for as little as US$ 40,000. (roughly TT$240,000). Hope it isn't located in a dump or next to a Nuclear Power Plant. :lol:

TRY more meds..

Planning on immigrating or just swimming across? :badgrin:

Also, just what does a house have to do with disk storage? :roll:

Sorry Willie there's no connection. Real Estate was just something off topic. That's what happens when you run out of prozac AND Viagra. :lol:

It's mighty tempting to buy property there. It's damn cheaper than here. Maybe thinking about migrating, not sure yet.

Woah! That's cheap for a Seagate. I just bought myself a nice 250GB Baracuda a couple of months ago. Real nice drives... though I think the Samsung Spinpoints are even a bit cheaper still!

Put yourself in AB's shoes...

You want to improve your lot, right?

A $40,000 house in the U.S. would be a real step up for AB. ;)

Ok idea, but I'm sure Local Sanitation Codes would preclude the mother-in-law. :)
